Stark County GOP officials enthusiastically back President Donald Trump changing the name of North America's tallest mountain back to Mount McKinley.

President Donald Trump says he’s changing the official name of Alaska’s — and North America’s — tallest peak from Denali back to Mount McKinley. It’s the latest chapter in a long struggle over what the mountain should be called.

In 2015, the name of the peak was changed during the Obama administration to reflect the traditions of Alaska Natives and preference of many Alaskans.

Among the roughly 200 executive orders President Donald Trump is expected to sign during his first day in office is a declaration to restore the name of the 25th president, William McKinley, to an Alaska mountain.

The move is likely to face some pushback in Alaska, where the Alaska Native name has long been favored for the continent’s tallest mountain.

During his inauguration speech, Donald Trump hailed President William McKinley and announced plans to restore the name of North America’s tallest peak from Denali to Mount McKinley. This decision would reverse the 2015 action by President Barack Obama,

Trump said he planned to “restore the name of a great president, William McKinley, to Mount McKinley, where it should be and where it belongs."

The Alaskan mountain, now known as Mount Denali, will revert back to its previous name Mount McKinley, which was changed by former President Barack Obama. Obama changed the name to Denali in 2015 to reflect the traditions of Alaska Natives as well as the preference of many Alaska residents.

For decades, Alaskans and Indigenous groups petitioned for the name to be changed back to Denali. Their efforts faced opposition, particularly from Ohio lawmakers who viewed the name Mount McKinley as a tribute to their state’s native son and 25th U.S. president.

The tallest peak in North America has been named Denali since 2015 when its name was officially changed under former President Barack Obama.

It is possible... President Donald Trump's executive orders propose bold changes to some of America's iconic landmarks. Here's how he could do it.
